B-Tech in Computer Science

In view of the increasing importance of the Computer Engineering discipline, the intake of the students was increased to two folds from 60 to 120 in a very short span of time. To keep pace with the current technological trends, the Faculty has introduced a credit based postgraduate programme leading to M.Tech. in Computer Engineering the year 2013. Ever since its establishment, the Faculty has always been on a high growth path and has experienced and dedicated faculty with a strong commitment to engineering education. Our students are exposed to up-to-date equipment, technology and techniques. Induction of new courses from time to time enables the students to keep abreast of recent technological developments. Flexibility in curriculum is provided through Electives Seminars and Projects.

Scope of the Course

Scope of Computer Science is increasing day by day specially in the field of Information Technology, Banking, Universities, IT Companies, Management and many other fields which are providing a promising future.

Career in Computer Science is considered one of the most high-paying jobs and is full of opportunities; particularly when India's prowess in information technology industry is recognized across the globe. The pool of talented computer engineers working in IT companies of the USA and Canada shows that IT can take a person to higher levels. Numerous IT companies from India employ huge number of computer professionals in their Indian and overseas offices.

Growth Rate of Jobs in Computer Engineering Sector

The BLS (The Bureau of Labor Statistic's Occupational Employment Statistics) forecasts a 24% growth rate in new computing jobs (854,000 new jobs) and projects 1.64 million total job openings for the 2006-2016 period. The professional IT workforce is expected to grow at more than twice the rate of the overall workforce between 2006 and 2016, with the largest demand for software engineers (324% growth), software applications developers (226% growth) and computer system analysts (146% growth). There are more than 10 times as many jobs for software engineering, programming and related occupations than there are for hardware-focused jobs based on computer engineering, and the projected growth rate is 3 times higher for software than hardware. Yet universities have seen a huge growth in the last decade in the number of students enrolled in computer engineering.
